Contract
Directions:
1. Create a learning contract OR learning menu that could be used in your unit. Be sure to
differentiate it across content, process and/or product with attention to your students
interests and learning preferences. Make it kid-friendly so that students get energized
to actually complete the tasks. Include directions the students would follow to complete the
task.
2. In a short narrative, describe how you envision using this learning tool in your unit. Think
about how it will be used and when in the unit you would use it. If you use Internet sites in
your menu/contract, on the menu/contract indicate access through Portaportal (you dont
actually have to create a Portaportal). However, at the end of your narrative list the URLs
for each site you want students to access.
3. Attach this coversheet to your assignment.

I envision implementing this contract at four or five different times throughout the course of the unit.
As I do not know how long a class might be, it could be 30 minutes or it could be a hour, I cant plan
exactly how many days would be needed. I dont see any of the activities taking more than 15 minutes so
if it is a longer lesson, contract time could be a wrap up for any lesson later on in the unit. I think this
contract would definitely be used in the middle or more towards the end of the unit as then the content
would be more likely to be covered. Some of the activities could definitely be used as review for an end of
unit test as well, such as the diagram or the memory game. The hide and show can be used to review for a
test as well. I really like the idea of either a contract for various review activities for any unit. I think that a
menu could be used more for a one day event in the middle of a unit with various short activities.
